We atmosphere was very excellent and excited touring guides. The people around were very entertaining to us to make us feel at home to enjoy our time. What an exciting place to be.

The food was great. Diverse menu that changed daily. The game drive was very good. The Spa was also super. And the WiFi and DSTV were helpful. Good experience overall.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Neat and clean rooms. Delicious food. Game drive definitely worth it. Enjoyed the stay.

Awesome stay. Friendly staff. Great game drives and hikes.

We loved Askari. It is almost sublimely peaceful. The setting is wonderful and the game drive was incredibly informing, a rich experience with never a dull moment in terms of seeing things of interest. The room was super and the special they put on for my wife and I for our 35th anniversary was classy. The food was great, all of it. Breakfast was so generous, but supper was classy. I have already passed on recommendations.

The stay was absolutely amazing .It started off with being welcomed by amazing and friendly staff. Thereafter they accommodated us and made sure there was cake on the menu (it was my birthday 🥳). We were impressed by their level of effort to go the extra mile. We loved the game drive, It was so educative and Gibson knows his animals well! The elephant experience was amazing!. The rooms were clean, food was great. Thank you for making our stay beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.

Askari Game Lodge and Spa is a beautiful spot, only an hour from Johannesburg! The accommodation is fantastic, the food was great except the lunch menu does need more variety especially for vegetarians. The staff were all super! The spa treatment was lovely too and we loved our game drive!!

i went twice there with some friends, rooms very clean, white crispy sheets and very comfortable beds. The food was very nice and we used the spa and also went on a game drive . i will be going back with my grandkids in January.

I went twice there with some friends, rooms very clean, white crispy sheets and very comfortable beds. The food was very nice and we used the spa and also went on a game drive. I will be going back with my grandkids in January .

We had a very good time at Askari enjoying the food and the animals. The game drive was superb and the guide very well informed. He really went the extra mile to make it a memorable experience. We had a couple massage at the Spa which was not too bad - the two masseuse whispered to each other the whole time and the product used was slightly underwhelming. The place seemed to be slightly rundown and not clean enough with the exception of the linen, which was clean and crisp -the saving grace of our experience. The bed was also of good quality. It was the first time in our travel experience that the foot paths and general paving weren't swept, we saw no attempt to do this and in our opinion there seemed to be more than enough staff floating around.

Magaliesburg Reviews

It's is a beautiful place and a short travelling distance from Johannesburg or Pretoria.

The beauty and tranquillity of the area.

scenery peaceful quiet time to get away especially if you a couple n need a break from the hasel and busel

Mountains and Hikes are spectacular

Close, with quiet places to stay as well as the basic ammenities.

Beautiful magical, with so much to do.

Going to the upside-down house

Travel by day prevents being surprised by potholes, so pack in some patience when heading this way. Magaliesburg's Little Roadhouse had friendly service and fabulous slap chips. The Route 66 Events held at Mt Grace Hotel were most enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit.

History of the Magaliesberg.

Peacefulness and tranquility, abundance of nature, away from the city

A place of outstanding natural beauty on a secret Riviera in the heart of Africa.

Set on a range of remote hills in one of Zimbabwe ’s finest wilderness locations, Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is utterly captivating. With the Zambezi escarpment as its backdrop, this haven of serenity overlooks the eternal shimmering waters of Lake Kariba below. Not only is Kariba’s shoreline wildlife-rich, but the lodge’s proximity to Matusadona allows for the wildlife to freely move between the national park and Bumi Hill’s private concession, creating endless game-viewing opportunities, led by our passionate team of guides.

Our ten spacious suites are thoughtfully appointed with all the comforts you expect of our luxurious Lake Kariba lodge . Each is replete with air-conditioning, en-suite bathroom, hairdryer, battery charging points, mini-bar and a private viewing deck extending spectacular views of the lake and its surrounds. Our Baobab Villa, Bumi Hills’   2-bedroomed private villa, complete with its own living room bar and indoor and outdoor dining decks is ideal for families. Offering a personalised experience, the villa comes with the services of a private butler, safari guide and a dedicated safari vehicle.

The stresses of modern life melt away at our blissful spa where our sparkling infinity pool offers cool respite and endless views of shimmering Lake Kariba below. For the active guest, our well-equipped gym is an invigorating prospect.  Not only is Kariba’s shoreline rich in wildlife but the lodge’s proximity to Matusadona allows for the animals roam freely between the national park and Bumi Hills’ private concession. Our alluring Lake Kariba lodge offers the lake as your playground. Spend your days cruising on the water or meandering the surrounds on a walking safari; discover the ancient secrets within the fossilised dinosaur footprints unique to this area.  Activities include guided walking safaris, stargazing, boating, birding, catch-and-release fishing, day and night game drives searching for lions in particular, as well as engaging cultural visits to our nearby local community.

Build a Boma

Our Build a Lion Boma Initiative aims to support the ABCF Human-Wildlife conflict efforts in the Mola community in Zimbabwe. The Lion bomas are used to protect the community’s livestock from predators and lions. A boma is a cloth material that is used to cover kraal’s so lions are unable to see the animals in the kraal, thus protecting the livestock inside from lions. By protecting the community’s livestock from lions and other predators, we are reducing human-wildlife conflict in the area and retaliation killing of wildlife.

For a donation of $2,000, ABCF can purchase a lion boma for the Mola community. Guests can participate in this intiative by donating towards a lion boma. As part of this donation, guests get to visit the Mola community during their stay at Bumi Hills and work with the community to erect the lion boma in the community.

This initiative is included in the conservation impact safari or can be added to any ABC safari booking that includes our Bumi Hills Safari Lodge.

Cruise down Lake Kariba while your river guide tells you stories passed down from generation to generation, tales of traditional fishing and the local people.

Game Drives

Game drives are what gets us up in the morning in the African bush, they’re a great avenue for exploring the land in a safe and exciting way.

Spend the day cruising the water and taking in the gorgeous views. Try your hand at fishing for tiger, bream (tilapia) or vundu.

Sunset Cruises

Cruise along Lake Kariba at sunset and take in the wonderful African wildlife and aquatic animals, encapsulating the essence of Africa.

The Ngwana Club

We specialise in children on safari. Nature walks around camp, arts and crafts, cooking lessons and other specialist child activities for younger guests.

Walking Safaris

Buckle up your boots and take a step into the intricate world of nature. Explore the wonders of the natural world with African soil crunching beneath your feet.

Star Gazing

After a day in the bush, relax next to the camp fire and allow yourself to get lost in the starry night above. At night the stars utterly dominate the land.

Cultural Visits

Working together with the communities located in the areas surrounding where we operate gives locals an opportunity to be self-sustainable.

Night Drives

Our private concessions allow for game drives after the sun has set. Experience the bush when elusive nocturnal wildlife awakens to hunt, forage and explore.

Bird watching

Delight in the call of the Giant kingfisher; photograph the majestic Squacco heron or Collared pratincole. Or simply sit back and enjoy their beautiful songs.

From Kariba’s wildlife-rich shores to walking safaris through the ancient bush, these are some of the animals you can expect to see during your stay at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge.

Bumi Hills is the most elegant place I have stayed in Africa. But that is actually not what moves me about it. What moves me is the in-depth and ongoing connection between the ABC company that runs the lodge and the village, school, and health center. Getting to meet people in these areas and see what they are doing to help themselves through a really tough time is inspiriting and humbling. AND the game viewing here is beyond the beyond as well

– Deb Allen via TripAdvisor

What an amazing experience we are so thankful we took this trip to Bumi Hills. Everything at Bumi is just 10/10 the staff is so friendly and very helpful, rooms are so so clean, the furniture the bed is just to die for, the food is just so divine those chef have really great experience on point.

– Enrietti Family via TripAdvisor

The location is stunning. Set above the shimmering expanse of Lake Kariba, this lodge is beautifully designed with many local artefacts, a pool, outdoor dining, shady trees and gardens. The rooms are luxurious each with balcony at tree top level. You can sit watching elephant and buffalo on the waters edge.

Our local Foundation Projects

Mangwara primary school.

Mola rural district (village) is located parallel to the Bumi wildlife area and is roughly a 1.5-hour drive from our Bumi Hills Safari lodge in Kariba Zimbabwe. The Mola community is a population of 10,000 people which makes up about 2000 households.

Human Wildlife Co-existence Project

Human-wildlife conflict and co-existence remain a critical part of our conservation efforts. The balance between protecting livestock, and the livelihoods of the community and protecting wildlife from poaching is key to advancing our conservation efforts in the national parks. The Lion bomas are used to protect the community’s livestock from predators and lions
